It's been a long time since Republicans were in charge of the whole show, so you need to expect some initial mistakes as they 'settle in' to the job of running the country.
But two things stick out of the mountain of garbage they are heaping on the average American:
1. Leadership is inexperienced and self serving. Having a 'fire sale' of everything that is worth having in the country to line their own pockets and feed their egos.
2. Rewriting of history, to the level early Chinese communist leadership and Pol Pot would admire.
So, two questions on my mind:
1. What was the average low information voter promised to make voting for Trump desirable?
2. Are we there yet? Stopped at the MAGA station, to admire the land of milk and honey, streets paved with gold?
If not yet, when? ETA? Any guesses?

My suspicion is he is heavily anti-DEI, but he knows it's politically incorrect, at least with me.
He didn't understand why a neighbor who has been friends with him a long time came over and gave him holy hell for putting up a Trump sign. To myself, I thought, good for the neighbor. Plus, this is a super red state, so I just said, well neither of our votes really matters here anyway.
I do want so badly to ask him where the fuck the $1.99 gas is. (3.10 today) and call him a dumb fuck for ever thinking it will be 1.99 again.

WHAT IS A GENERAL STRIKE?
A general strike is when working people refuse their labor until demands are met research shows we need 3.5% of the population, or 11 million Americans, to be successful the strike card below tracks our progress so we all know when its time to strike
WHY ARE WE STRIKING?
Weve voted, weve protested, and still, they ignore us. Our government refuses to meet our basic needs while the billionaire class hoards wealth and power. We cant afford to wait any longer. Our labor is our greatest strength and if we strike together we can make real change.
Tell me, what else is working?
